    Stopping Progesterone for 24hrs post transfer

    I mentioned to my FS during transfer yesterday that I was having quite severe lower back and abdominal cramping (in general, not from the transfer) so he suggested stopping the progesterone pessaries for 24 hours.

    Has anyone else done this?

    I think my levels are quite high - my boobs are killing, and even though my last pessary was yesterday morning, I still have slight cramps - but I was a little worried about stopping it but at the same time, thought the cramping could possibly prevent the embryo from attaching to the uterine wall.

    Does anyone else get bad cramps on Progesterone?? This is my third transfer and usually the cramps don't kick in until a few DPT.

    Hey
    I had the crinone pessaries the day before transfer and up to my BT date. I only had one a day, but I know a lot of folk on here have more than that per day and for some time after. My progesterone has been in the 300/400 scale for ages....very fatigued. Maybe your FS doesn't think you need the extra and as it's causing pain taking you off it. Good luck and fingers crossed
